3On the pavement outside the Green, Aldo watches his now former rhythm section drive away up the road. When the car turns left at the corner and is out of sight, he stands there for a moment longer, feeling more alone than he ever has in his life.
He wipes his eyes then takes his mobile out his pocket to send a text to George and let him know the wee man's okay and to go and pick him up. He does it quickly, getting it over with and keying send before he can second guess himself. Knowing that he's never going to see his son again is too much to take, so he slams a door on it every time the thought intrudes.
Text sent, Aldo then brings up the f*******: app. The Public Alibi page now has a little under two million followers. He taps the status bar and his thumbs go to work.
To all those at
